Answers

Answer:

I believe and consider Nelson Mandela to be a hero because his ways of working things out was bringing himself and his people a better life. On the other hand, Augusto Pinochet, I consider him a villain because he was responsible for many tragedies, yet never really charged for them.

Background

Nelson Mandela was a South African activist, politician, anti-apartheid, and a philanthropist.

Born: July 18, 1918

Died: December 5, 2013

Augusto Pinochet was a Chilean dictator that took his power for granted and gave himself a bad history, although he didn't see it that way.

Born: November 25, 1915

Died: 2006

Contributions

Contributions

Nelson Mandela taught his nation the real meaning of activism, showed his power for human spirit, brought Apartheid to an end, became first black president of South Africa, and remained devoted to the idea of peace and justice.

Augusto Pinochet, wasn't really a positive contributor. He violated the peoples' rights, ruined education for some, snatched job opportunies, canceled elections that were for good causes, illegally elected himself as president, and he was known for dividing rather than uniting.

Legacy

Legacy

Nelson Mandela caused a positive impact around the world. He became a representation of an achievement with dedication to a good cause. He also brought peaceful protests and when needed, armed resistance.

Augusto Pinochet is remembered as a cold-hearted who tortured and murdered thousands of people. Murdered/disappeared more than 3,200 and tortured about 28,000. Chile's military today doesn't want to recognize him and political groups that favored him, now reject him and his family.

Here is a short video of Pinochet's life in power.

Conclusion

I chose Mandela as a hero because he is someone I've always been inspired by. He taught to stand up for good causes and remain devoted, until you achieve it.

I chose Pinochet as a villain because I believe he didn't have what it took to be a presisdent, he shouldn't have had any power whatsoever. He was resposible for thousands of deaths

Constitutional Convention

Answers

The Constitutional Convention[1] (contemporarily known as the Federal Convention,[1] the Philadelphia Convention,[1] or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia)[2][3] took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in the old Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. Although the convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation,[4] the intention from the outset of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York, was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one. The delegates elected George Washington of Virginia, former commanding general of the Continental Army in the late American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and proponent of a stronger national government, to become President of the convention. The result of the convention was the creation of the Constitution of the United States, placing the Convention among the most significant events in American history.

What is the author's main purpose in writing this article? Cite evidence from the text in your response. CommonLit: The R*pe of Nanking and a Forgotten Genocide

Answers

Answer:

The author's purpose in writing this article is to elucidate the tragic and vicious manner in which Japan committed a genocide on the Chinese nation. The author wrote, " But what was exorbitant -and terrifying- about the Second Sino Japanese war were the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese military which reached depths of depravity unmatched in modern warfare." This shows that the crimes committed by the Japanese were heinous and the author detailed most of them.

Explanation:

This CommonLit article by Mike Kubic provides an insight into the atrocities committed by the Japanese nation on China from the late 1800's to 1945. These atrocities show the ease with which young minds can be easily influenced to hate a whole people and inflict harm on them. The author of the article vividly described the manner in which these crimes were committed.

Japanese attack was spurred by just hatred of the Chinese nation and a greed for the resources of other nations to motivate their own agenda. They were only stopped after the attack of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

what happened during the Korean war? Who was involved? Who supported who? What was the result?

Answers

Answer:

World War II divided Korea into a Communist, northern half and an American-occupied southern half, divided at the 38th parallel. The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. This Chinese army attacked the US/UN/ROK forces. The United Nations, with the United States as the principal participant, joined the war on the side of the South Koreans, and the People's Republic of China came to North Korea's aid. After three years of a bloody and frustrating war, the United States, the People's Republic of China, North Korea, and South Korea agree to an armistice, bringing the fighting of the Korean War to an end. The armistice ended America's first experiment with the Cold War concept of “limited war.”

1941, chaos is surrounding me. This is World War 2 for goodness sake! My owner Martin Bormann gifter me to a man named Adolf Hitler. It has been a few months since I have came to this new home and I am already in love with him. Sometimes, I wonder if he is different around me though. Perhaps, a completely different personality set. I still love him with all my heart though.

Speaking of love, my master was quite happy about an attack on Pearl Harbor. Some people have mixed emotions about it all. All in all, humans confuse me. I am Hilter's companion, he trains me and we play fetch. I am pregnant at the time. Let me tell you it is miserable. It makes me look obese and I am lazy all of the time now. My feet ache from all of this weight I have gained. I can't wait to have these puppies out of me. Master will be happy, and hopefully he will help me keep them safe from this chaotic war.
